Reviving the Soul

I've been enjoying Psalm 19 this week:
7 ¶ The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring for ever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Lord give me living understanding. Give me wisdom and revelation and insight into the depth of your ways. Forgive me for when I have not esteemed your precepts and your ways.
I ask for light to come to my eyes that I would walk rightly; that I would be able to follow you and not stray from you, turning to the left or the right. Come and touch my heart and revive my soul through the power of your word.
